New Orleans Eats Forums at NOLAEats.com

You can thank some new law/rule which was enacted by our politicians for this. Something about no more selling the beer to jazzfest at bulk prices.
Whatever.

Wow. Stand in line forever to spend five bucks for a beer. Then stand in line forever to evacuate the beer. Kind of a drag.

I was out at Zurich today, and noticed that the prices charged at the food booths were as astronomical as the Dome/Arena/JazzFest. Oddly, a bud took a pic of the food prices at The Masters last week, and the highest price for anything, food included, was about $2! Granted, it was not anywhere near a seafood Po-boy for food, but generic beer should NEVER be $5. Never. Including Dome Foam.

I think every venue in NOLA is just soaking the masses. Glad I pack the good stuff and pass on that crap.

And at Jazz Fest, a case of those MGD's works out to $120 ($14/case retail) at $5 each. I mean, get real. Is anyone that dumb?

Wait...there is...thousands are that dumb...

Dude. It is about the music.

Thanks to Democrat rule, we are all about to undergo a radical adjustment in disposable income and standard of living. As such, a period of rapid deflation is about to be upon us. Smart people know this and I suspect the increase in food and drink as well as event ticket prices in the last year, is one last chance to stick it to the man before we all make due with less.

BTW after the period of deflation, we are in for inflation that will make the dollar as worthless as the peso. Can you say Mexi-merica?

Welcome to what Obama has wrought.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Hope someone holds your feet to the fire when none of your dire predictions take place

Obama has nothing to do with the Orleans Parish politics that levied a punitive tax on restaurants.

Obama has nothing to do with the ineffectual New Orleans Hotel and Restaurant Association that allowed Harrah's to open and suck all the money out of the French Quarter.

Nor does he have anything to do with stadium and event managers who charge vendors half their gross for the right to operate at their events.

I could make the point that anyone who actually believes one political party is better than another is beyond reason, but why ruin a beautiful Sunday morning?

Its all Brazil baby. 3 years and counting.

Thanks RATCHEESE and PAZ5559 for saving me a rant.

PS For a good laugh see this weeks New York Magazine [PALIN INC] if you have the time.

$5 a can. But if you're a real connoisseur, you can get a can of Foster's for $6. Or you can drink ice cold bottles of Stone Levitation, Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Abita Strawberry, and LA 31 Pale. I prefer the latter. And I voted for Obama.

They have those at Jazz Fest? Only beer other than ML and Foster I saw was MGD light (I guess because MGD tastes too much like beer) and Coors.

How's that pissing in the wind going for ya?
